Meanwhile in Africa, the newly sworn-in vice president of Sudan has died in an helicopter crash. John Garang DeMabior died along with 13 others. Garang is a former leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement. Earlier this year he signed a deal to end Africa’s longest civil war. Just three weeks ago he was sworn in as vice president. On that day he said “My presence here today in Khartoum is a true signal that the war is over.” UN officials are reporting that following the announcement of Garang’s death, bloody street clashes erupted between Christian and Arab groups in Khartoum.
